Researchers are worried that a brain illness known as 'zombie deer' disease may start infecting humans

Prions are infectious agents that cause disease when their misfolded proteins cause structural abnormalities in the brain and neural tissue. Well known examples of human disease include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and kuru, and in animals, mad cow disease (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, i.e., BSE). This article highlights the potential risk of eating venison from animals that are at risk of contracting chronic wasting disease (CWD). "For now, some experts recommend that hunters who harvest deer and elk in affected areas get a sample of their kill tested before grilling up any venison steaks. If the test comes back positive, they recommend discarding the meat".
